1. It's very reactive. For eg, if someone were to attempt to suffocate someone with my brother's dirty sock (yes it could be a weapon) then socks would have to be checked. Or say someone whips a stewardess with their specially made belt-whip, then belts would be disallowed.
2. We're targeting things (that could be weapons), rather than people. Box cutters, shoes, and water do not kill people. But muslim fanatics do. AC makes the point that
Airplanes, ports, bridges, subways and shopping malls cannot ever be sanitized against every type of attack that can be dreamed up by fanatics engaged in asymmetrical warfare. We have to target the fanatics themselves. Baby formula doesn't kill people. Islamic fascists kill people.
Sorry but there exists a profile of the type of person that we need to target. Politicians need the courage to recognize this obvious threat. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone is courageous enough to tackle liberal dems and judges and the ACLU until after we are attacked again.
